Just gotta make it (alright)
Just gotta make it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Just gotta make it (alright)
Just gotta make it
Just gotta make it (alright)
Just gotta make it

Shorty
All I got is a dollar and a dream, is ya gon' roll with me?
You see I've tried a nine to five, and it just don't fit me, no
I can get us out the hood and have us livin' good, you feel me? (oh, do you feel me?)
But I ain't leavin' here if you ain't with me
'Cause, girl, a suit with a smile that don't fit me (oh no)
Takin' a bus for some miles is gon' kill me (oh no)
I'm tryna turn it around, start this thin' from the ground
And as long as you're down I know

Lookin' at you day after day, I know I (I know)
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it
Just to see that smile up on your face, I know I
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it (gotta make it through)
Everything I do, I do for you and we
Just gotta make it (alright), we just gotta make it
To the top of the world, me and my girl we
Just gotta make it (alright), just gotta make it

Now, baby
One day soon, you gon' walk outside and see a Mercedes
And I'm gon' give ya the keys and tell ya go shoppin'
And buy e'rything you want, buy e'rything you need, make sure you get some shit for me
Then I can get us out the hood and have us livin' good
But first I gotta know, if you gon' roll
'Cause a suit with a smile, don't fit me
Takin' a bus for some miles is gon' kill me
I'm tryna turn it around, start this thing from the ground
As long as I know you gon' be there

Lookin' at you day after day, I know I
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it (I gotta make it, yeah)
Just to see that smile up on your face, I know I
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it (to see that smile, girl)
Everything I do, I do for you and we
Just gotta make it (alright), we just gotta make it (that's right)
To the top of the world, me and my girl we (uh-huh, uh-huh, Trey Songz)
Just gotta make it (alright), just gotta make it (Twista, we put it down like this)

Even if I gotta go and cop a thang
Get up early and go standin' on the block, some how I
Just gotta make it, that's right
Just gotta make it, uh-huh
Even if I have to sit with the fellas
At the round table and come up on a plot, some how I
Just gotta make it, baby girl I
Just gotta make it, uh-huh
I'm tellin' you the truth on the daily
There's nothin' I won't do for you baby
Havin' big dreams of me ridin' in the Bentley Continental
While me copin' you a cute lil' Mercedes
And I know I got the block hot
But until I make it happen for you, baby, I will not stop
I'ma drape you with diamonds and furs
Visions of your hair blowin' in the wind from a drop top
Like a baller, like a true shot caller
The homie, Trey Songz, tippin' all day long if he have to
Makin' that money for the family
Can I get up witcha it's that nigga named Twista
Come and take a lil' cruise with a G through the Chi-town streets
'Cause you feelin' me under inspiration whenever I'm (see I know, I know, I know)

Lookin' at you day after day, I know I
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it
Just to see that smile up on your face, I know I
Just gotta make it (alright), I just gotta make it
Everything I do, I do for you and we
Just gotta make it (alright), we just gotta make it (we gotta make it)
To the top of the world, me and my girl we
Just gotta make it (alright), just gotta make it

Oh yeah, it's Trey Songz, and the homie Twista
And we gon' have to make it, y'all
For my baby, 'cause we entrepreneurs
(I know I just gotta make it, I just gotta make it)
I know why I'm doin' this now shorty
(Everything I do, I do for you)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
